Some things in this world are unequivocal, and Sophia Loren posing with the Mercedes-Benz SL Gullwing in 1955 is certainly one of them. Mama Mia!!! Sophia Loren is probably the most exotically beautiful woman that has ever lived, and in the late 1950 she owned and drove a Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing which she posed with quite a bit, as you can see in the following photos.

On The Hood Of Her Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

They say that people look like their dogs, and the same is likely true about cars. In other words, people choose cars that reflect their personality and sense of aesthetics. I don't know of any other female who so accurately chose a car that reflected their aesthetic and personality so much as Sophia Loren and her Gullwing 300SL. Why? When the Gullwing doors are in the up and open position, they look like Sophia's exotic eyebrows. Both Sophia and the Gullwing have stunning curves, and both are completely timeless, exotic and highly chic.

Miles Davis was a fascinating man and a brilliant musician. He was also a sports car fanatic. In the future I plan to cover much more of his Ferrari collection, but in the meantime, this should get you going.

Barret Jackson Auction House successfully sold the first production 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for $1.1 Million and all the funds went to charity. Drew Phillips from AOL took this photo and I have to say this photo makes me feel strange. Why? Because it looks so cool.

I think Chevy did a very poor job of showcasing the Corvette Stingray at introduction. They talked a lot about how great it looked, but the publicity shots were not that great. This image, from this angle looks insanely cool!!!

The image below showcases the 7 generations of Corvette. How do I feel about the all-new Corvette? I have mixed emotions. It looks really beautiful, but it seems to be missing something? It kind of has too much of an eighties Trans-Am/Firebird look, or something? Methinks the A Pillar being painted black is throwing me off. In all fairness, I am reserving all judgment until I have had a chance to drive and see one in person.

Welcome To Jake's Car World

My name is Jake Ehrlich and I am the editor and publisher of Jake's Car World.

I have an interesting story to share with you. I became fascinated with cars when I was little kid playing with my Hot Wheels. When I was in the third grade, I started drawing Speed Racer's Mach 5 with a pencil and paper. Every time, I would daw the Mach 5, I would try to improve the lines.

When I was fourteen, I fell in love with the 1969 Chevy Camaro, and at the same time, I would go to school everyday, and in class I would sit and draw cars all day long.

When I was 17 I wanted to become an automotive designer, and I was talented at designing cars, but I just could not imaging going to work for an American car company as a designer. This was in the mid 1980s, when American cars were at their all-time worst. This was the generation of cars cars that had evolved from the Gremlin, to the Pinto, into the Chrysler Reliant-K.

I remember thinking at the time, that the only option would have been to learn German, and move to Germany, and I did not want to do so. So I went into clothing design. Years later, I started designing computer hardware, and software, which I still do with my company BulletTrain.

I also blog like crazy, so it made sense to begin Jake's Car World, which I sincerely hope you enjoy.
